Following the success of the previous eight conferences, APCMP2016 will provide another opportunity for researchers and industrial practitioners from around the world to interchange information on the latest development and applications in the science and technologies of materials processing. Specifically, this conference focuses on material forming in the melt, near-melt or powder state, material subtractive and additive processes, as well as other advanced processes including micro- and nano-fabrication for metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, semiconductors and biomaterials.
